Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 67

Madam Xu was imprisoned, and within two days she confessed her guilt and wrote a confession.

When she was first interrogated, she refused to admit that she had instigated someone to secretly write a letter to falsely accuse Magistrate Qi. But when Xie Ying ordered the severely tortured scoundrel and the Xu family servant to be brought up to identify her, the torn flesh and blood made her lose all her courage.

The person she sent to find the rogue was Xu Sheng, the son of her housemate Di Mama. After the task was completed, she gave the man three hundred taels of silver and asked him to leave the capital. But she didn't expect that she hadn't seen Xu Sheng for so many days, and the next time they met was in the imperial prison of the Northern Pacification Division, which was dark and dark.

Xu Sheng had been tortured to the point of blood. When they met, he pointed at her and said, "It was her. Madam Xu gave me three hundred taels of silver and asked me to bribe the scoundrels and beggars in Beijing to submit the false accusation to the Censorate! I didn't know it was a serious crime. I was just a servant. I had to do whatever my master told me to do. I had no choice..."

Just as Xu was about to argue, the criminal officer Lu Xi sighed, "Back then, Taizu issued an imperial edict to inform the people of the world that everyone should have a set of these at home so that they would know the laws of the country. You people disobeyed the imperial order, and that's why you are suffering today. If she had given you the letter, you would have brought it to our Northern Pacification Division, and I would have rewarded you with ten taels of silver. Wouldn't that be better than being tortured like this?"
